What's the best setup for a street car?
Tarret bronze/urethane? (Sounds like a good idea, but never heard from anyone running them) Needle Bearings? ( I worry about rust and maintenance issues) Stock with 40K on them? (Has a low "trick" factor, but probably works good) Delrin/urethane (squeeky........don't want them) Ditto for rear trailing arm bushings???? |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/WTF.gif) I wasn't talking about "a friends 911", I was talking about MY car, which I drove on a daily basis How many cars with these kinds of bushings/bearings installed did YOU drive on the street/track for a longer period of time? There's lots of things that can/will make your car uncomfortable (or hurt your butt as you put it), but these metal-to-metal bushings/bearings ain't one of em... call me weird, but I'll take real world BTDT advise over theoretical-engineers-poop-talk any day |
